Baron Etienne of Avranches (1101-) was the Baron of Avranches under the Kingdom of England.

Biography
Etienne was born to the House of Normandy, a dynasty of Catholic French. He was the son of Count Henry of Eu and the younger brother of Count Jean of Eu, and in 1136 he lost his father to illness. While his brother Jean succeeded to the County of Eu, Etienne was granted the Barony of Avranches by King Stephen of England in an attempt to win over the loyalty of his Norman vassals.
